It's an example of creativity, as opposed to facts, so that it can be copyright.

It is a festival area. Some kind of music festival if I remember right. But I don't know how it is called.

It's the Burning Man Festival

A fine example of local, timely mapping at it's best - zoom in to see the glorious detail. Done by the recipient of an OpenStreetMap North Star :)

It's Black Rock City, NV. The birthplace of the online virtual world Second Life and about as close to SL as you're going to get in real life.

Why doesn't this match the aerial? Do they move it slightly every year?
